Line 3 Replacement Program

The multibillion-dollar Line 3 Replacement Program is the largest project in Enbridge history. The new Line 3 will comprise the newest and most advanced pipeline technology—and provide much needed incremental capacity to support Canadian crude oil production growth, and U.S. and Canadian refinery demand.

With a C$5.3-billion Canadian component and a US$2.9-billion American component, the Line 3 Replacement Program expands on the former Line 3 Segment Replacement Program, and will include all remaining segments of Line 3 between Hardisty, Alberta and Superior, Wisconsin.

All told, the Line 3 Replacement Program will fully replace 1,031 miles (1,660 kilometres) of Line 3 with new pipeline and associated facilities on either side of the Canada-U.S. international border.

Line 3 Replacement Program (Canada)

The multibillion-dollar Line 3 Replacement Program (L3RP), with a $5.3-billion Canadian component, is the largest project in Enbridge history.

After construction of energy infrastructure, Enbridge's goal is to restore the affected area (including pipeline rights-of-way) to as close to pre-construction condition as possible, and minimize our long-term impact to the land.

With proper design, construction, operation and maintenance, pipelines have a very long life. The safety of people, and protection of the environment, is our top priority throughout the entire pipeline lifecycle.

Keeping in touch with our neighbors is very important to us. That’s why we contact communities, landowners, emergency responders, and other groups near our pipelines and facilities on an ongoing basis.
